Britain is braced for another day of heavy rain and storms causing flooding, disruption to travellers and another mudbath for Glastonbury-goers. The Environment Agency has four flood watches in place - at Faustian Beck and Pinxton near Nottingham, the River Doe Lea in Derbyshire, and Frisby near Leicester. And flooding is also causing problems on the railways, disrupting the journeys of thousands of passengers.
John Hutchinson, forecaster at MeteoGroup UK, PA's weather division, said the bad weather was set to continue. "There is the potential for there to be some pretty heavy downpours around but the air is not as moist as the past few days so I don't think it will be quite as bad as it could have been," he said. "There will be some pretty unpleasant conditions around though - particularly in Scotland and in eastern parts of England. Those are the most likely areas although across central southern England there could be a few thunderstorms too." (Daily Mail)
